Has anyone ever frozen Maryland Crab Soup? Does it keep well?
Being from Baltimore I should know this but I guess I am just so used to no leftovers- the soup is so good!
Anyway, I made a huge batch and it's really good but I know we won't be able to eat itall before we go away this weekend. I'm wondering if it freezes ok. I'd hate to freeze it and then have to throw it out if it gets gross. Anyone try it? I know cream based soups don't work well but this is basically broth, veggies, crab meat and spices.

Being a former chef and have worked for a seafood production company, the best thing is to make it to a point, what I mean is only make it to the point were when you reheat it you add the dairy or final seasonings.
Make sure the soup is cold, I would put in the frig in the freezer containers for a day to make sure it is cold, then tightly close it even put a piece of plastic wrap over to to double the seal. and freeze it in a single layer, do not stack them until soild frozen and in the back of the frigs freezer or even better a chest freezer, the temparture changes are not as drastic.
